I’ve been doing university research that requires me to stick with Glyphs 2 (to make old code work; please believe me when I say this is important to the research because I won’t get into an argument about that). As I’m starting to look at new projects now, I’ve got a clear need to catch up with Glyphs 3, but I can’t abandon the old research material. Does anyone have real-world tips … preferably from experience … on how to keep the two alive and happy on one machine.
I guess setting up two separate user accounts would … probably … do it (?). But the daily-headache factor there is pretty non-trivial, because you have to duplicate everything else, like access to files, online accounts, and other apps you use. I suppose there’s also running a VM.
I just wonder if there’s some other obvious answer that hasn’t occurred to me yet. Or, if other people have done this and lived to tell the tale, how it went. I didn’t find much via the forum search, but that could be because searching for single-digit numbers is iffy…
